033 Red Letters

[eat_me_beat_me]

Alright. I know there's been talk about a book club or whatever for a while. But, like a lotta things here, it seems like a lot of "we should" and "we'll do" and not enough "let's DO this."

So. This is me. Doing this.

I found a book in the library that looks pretty cool and if anyone else wants to read it, too, just let me know and I'll have the ghosts bring you a copy. It's called Ego and Enmity and the Undead. So, what do you think? Any takers?

[chancing]

I think it would sound more appealing if it did not include the undead.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She snickers]

Oh c'mon. What's love without a few zombies?

[chancing]

It sounds like it would be much less frightening.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Oh I don't know. Love can be pretty scary on its own.

[demontobeloved]

Hey, I'm always up for poking holes in popular fiction. Sign me up.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Hey, nice! There are a few different ones in the library but I figured it's a good place to start. [in a moment a ghost shows up with a book for him]

[demontobeloved]

[And Cole goes to retreive it.]

Thanks. I'll get on it tonight. Probably be finished in a few days.

Don't think we've been introduced. I'm Cole Turner.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Nora Diniro. It's nice to meet you.

[cricketycricket]

[he is absolutely, completely on board with this book club idea. especially when she suggests a classic like Ego and Enmity ---

wait -- and the -- and the --]


What?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She laughs]

Hey, Doctor! What d'ya think?

[cricketycricket]

[hesitantly, but vaguely amused] I think you're mad, Nora, but that's nothing new.

You are aware there's a version of this sans undead, I hope...?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[You're getting a copy of the book delivered, Five. Just because]

Of course. I've even read it.

[wilder]

Ego and Enmity and the Undead, huh?

Sounds like a classy book to me~! ♪

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Hey! Sword-dude! The ghosts bring you a copy]

Doesn't it, though? I can't wait to read it.

[wilder]

[He gets it] Thank you, my darling!

[flipping through it] Oh yeah. I always feel the undead can always enhance a good story!

[eat_me_beat_me]

I thought so, too. It certainly livens it up a bit. [She laughs]

Hey, I don't think I ever caught your name before. I'm Nora.

[assassino]

[laugh]

That sounds like an interesting read, based on the title alone.

[eat_me_beat_me]

I thought so, too. Would you like one?

[assassino]

Why not? I cannot promise I will get past the first page, but I will try.

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

Sure. Sounds good enough.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Hey, Dairine. I'll send you one.

[The ghosts bring you one]

Here's hoping it's as good as the title.

[wizard_redfive]

Thanks. I'll let you know if it is.

[The book gets placed on the top of her to-read pile. Knowing her, best expect it to be finished soon.]

[traken_master]

[The Master is becoming bored, so a harmless diversion is a good idea. He's read Ego and Enmity, but never gotten around to reading the undead version.]

This sounds like a good idea. I'd be pleased to join, my dear. I hope you won't mind a bit of comparison with the original?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Oh, hey, a new voice. She smiles]

Not at all. I read the original a couple years ago but this one looks a hell of a lot more interesting.

I'm Nora, by the way. Nora Diniro.

[She sends a copy his way by way of ghost]

[traken_master]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Diniro. I am the Master.

[He accepts the book with a gracious nod and rapidly, within moments, reads the first few pages.]

Well, perhaps not more interesting, but certainly entertaining in a different way.
